Synopsis

  • This article highlights the carbon reduction possible by changing commercial fisheries' practices to reduce overfishing, protect the seabed from trawling, and allow depleted fish stocks to recover.
  • Students will learn about the importance of allowing depleted fish populations to recover to sustainable levels (from an economic and carbon storage perspective), protecting the carbon stored in the seabed, and the resulting ability of fishing boats to travel shorter distances and spend less time fishing.
